My dolls - No 76 /adventures in rebodying 7

Now back to raporting my doll purchases...it was another intensive fruitfull dolly week...just after seeing her unusual make=up and colour scheme on forum and doll identification pages - she suddenly emerged on ebay....must have been a devil (again..)...

I easily won auction of this fully dressed fresh out of box doll:

Beyond Pink Teresa 1998

She arrived same day with next fab doll in a queue!!! on 06.07.2016.

1998 was a great year in Barbie's history - just look at this video with Think Pink music video featuring many recently issued dolls: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79c8UvYfz4I

As you know Teresa is a part of a chick-rock band /hence cool make-up and un-cool orange plastic guitar). There was Barbie in pink and Christie in neon green. I just found out that there are glowing in dark accents on their fashions and that Christie has painted baby hair and is fab /essp after removing the foil bits)!!!

Here is story of my doll emerging...

everything except of doll is still for sale in ebay...

Except of metallic foil accents that has to go she has funny body - she plays air guitar when you spin her head /hence stable stand/ - she is therefore very stiff and her head in not moving up and down..that needs to change too...

Her hair are straight and in burgundy brown unusual, mysterious shade... (a bit like Velvet doll's).

Face is completely fab!

her skin is much darker than avarage 90's Teresa's - lovely!

7 months of 'maturing in a cardboard box and here are things happening to her at last...

Her fancy metallic foil hair disintegrated over last decades making it easier for me to make an decision about removing them. Her hair are sort of sew in, not glued, so they pop with just little pull...

 OUTcome of my work

 silvery bits shining in the dark...

bye bye 90's rockstar extravaganza!

bye bye foil and stiff neck...

tadaaam!

whoa! what just happen...

I can't feel my face when I'm with you...

et voila!

one articulated wrist makes a lot of difference actually;-)

(this is such a good make-up asking for some truly /classic/ rock'n roll outfit!
